Demon God's Fall

"This is a portion of my bloodline, along with part of the power of the Destruction Godhead. My bloodline can not only enhance the power of your own bloodline, but it also contains some insights into cultivation. If you comprehend them properly, you will gain the strength to contend against gods. But I must warn you: do not use the power of the Destruction Godhead lightly. It will cause you to lose your reason and plunge into extreme madness."

After saying that, another flash of golden light streaked forth and merged into Feng Xiu's soul once more.

"This is the Transcendent Divine Artifact, the Golden Dragon Spear. It was formed from my essence. Although it cannot compare to the Eternal and Creation God's Throne of Divine Seal left behind by the Creator God, the difference is not great."

"Go, for the glory of the Dragon Race!"

The Golden Dragon King's entire body shone brilliantly. Golden light wrapped around Feng Xiu's soul and carried it out of the Divine Forbidden Land, toward the Holy Demon Continent.

Once the sensation of the world spinning faded, Feng Xiu saw an enormous planet.

Looking at the continent surrounded by azure seas, Feng Xiu felt a complicated mix of emotions.

This time, he would definitely not allow the tragedy to repeat itself!

As Feng Xiu recalled how he had met Bai Lingxuan, he activated the Time-Space Stone. The Time-Space Stone burst forth with even more dazzling seven-colored divine light. The light transformed into seven halos that instantly enveloped the entire planet, and the planet underwent earth-shaking changes.

At the same time, Feng Xiu felt an immense pulling force from the Time-Space Stone. His soul was immediately sucked completely inside it.

The seven-colored divine light gradually faded, and the Time-Space Stone rapidly shrank, turning into a meteor that plummeted swiftly into the planet.

Temple Alliance, in a small town near Southern Town Pass.

The dense forest was filled with the breath of nature. Sunlight streamed through the branches and leaves, casting mottled shadows through the gaps between the trees. The wind scattered them in every direction, while a faint fragrance of wildflowers lingered in the air.

Feng Xiu opened his eyes and looked around in confusion.

Feng Xiu was certain that this was not where he had met Bai Lingxuan, because there was no such forest within Demon Race territory.

The Time-Space Stone had indeed gone off course. Feng Xiu had no idea exactly which point in time he had returned to.

Although the forest before him did not belong to the Demon Race, Feng Xiu still felt a sense of familiarity. He had definitely been here before.

Feng Xiu helplessly rubbed his forehead, then began to sense the changes in his body.

Vast bloodline power flowed through him. Not only did he now possess the bloodline of the Heaven-defying Demon Dragon Clan, but he also possessed the Golden Dragon King's bloodline. Though this bloodline was exceedingly faint, it had caused his Outer Spiritual Power to soar.

By Feng Xiu's conservative estimate, his current Outer Spiritual Power was at least eight hundred thousand.

A gray bead quietly floated within his Dantian. Though it was dim and without luster, Feng Xiu knew how terrifying it was. This was the portion of the Destruction Godhead bestowed upon him by the Golden Dragon King—the Destruction Godhead that could drive him into madness.

Besides that, he discovered a seal within his body, a seal meant to conceal his dark aura.

Looking at the seal, then at the familiar forest before him, Feng Xiu finally understood the current timeline. He had not returned to the time when he met Bai Lingxuan in Demon Race territory. Instead, he had returned to the time just after they had parted ways.

"Ling Xuan, Ling Xuan..."

Feng Xiu murmured to himself and sank into his memories.

Bai Lingxuan was a Priest from the Priest Temple and a member of a Demon Hunt Squad. While carrying out a Demon Hunt Squad mission within Demon Race territory, she had been seriously injured and was saved by Feng Xiu, who happened to be passing by.

Feng Xiu had been deeply drawn to Bai Lingxuan's delicate temperament and peerless beauty. As if possessed, he had taken the alias Feng Ling and falsely claimed to be a Warrior from the Warrior Temple, as well as a demon hunter. Simple-minded Bai Lingxuan quickly believed his story.

Under Feng Xiu's attentive care, Bai Lingxuan's injuries quickly recovered. To gain her trust further, Feng Xiu even helped her complete many Demon Hunt Squad missions and killed several members of the Demon Race.

Bai Lingxuan was deeply attracted by Feng Xiu's formidable strength and handsome appearance. Coupled with his tender care for her, she soon fell in love with him. Not long afterward, the two became intimate.

Bai Lingxuan stayed with Feng Xiu in Demon Race territory for a full year. That year was also the happiest year of Feng Xiu's life.

Then one day, she told Feng Xiu that she missed home. She wanted to return to the Temple Alliance and tell her family that she wanted to marry him.

Feng Xiu did not have the courage to reveal his identity to Bai Lingxuan. Though he had talked her out of going home many times, he could not ultimately dissuade her. Left with no choice, he had sent her back near Southern Town Pass in the Temple Alliance. Southern Town Pass was the location of the Priest Temple's main headquarters, and it was also Bai Lingxuan's home.

He and Bai Lingxuan parted in the small town near Southern Town Pass. He promised her that once he returned to the Warrior Temple and obtained his parents' consent, he would come back to Southern Town Pass to ask for her hand.

According to how the original story unfolded, that parting had become their final farewell. A year and a half later, when Feng Xiu returned to the small town, all he found was Bai Lingxuan's gravestone.

Right now was the day after he and Bai Lingxuan had parted in the town.

It was also the day he was discovered by two Titled Rank Demon Hunt Squads.

Although Bai Lingxuan could not recognize Feng Xiu, the Demon God Emperor, these two Titled Rank Demon Hunt Squads had seen him before and had even fought him. They were extremely familiar with the Demon God Emperor's aura.

Although he had concealed the dark aura around him with a seal and even disguised himself, he still could not deceive these two Demon Hunt Squads.

At that thought, Feng Xiu narrowed his eyes and expanded his perception to its limit.

"Come out!" Feng Xiu's cold, imposing voice instantly spread throughout the entire forest.

Twelve figures suddenly rushed toward Feng Xiu from all directions. The two Demon Hunt Squads surrounded him from the left and right.

The Demon Hunt Squad on the left was the Demon God's Fall Demon Hunt Squad led by Chen Zidian, while the one on the right was the Demon Slayer Demon Hunt Squad led by Huang Feng.

"Since the Demon God Emperor has honored the Temple Alliance with his presence, why did you not at least inform us?"

Chen Zidian was tall and powerfully built, dressed in resplendent orange armor. He held an orange greatshield in his left hand and a massive sword radiating the brilliance of the morning sun in his right. Nine clusters of light gleamed along the blade, dazzling like nine tiny suns.

Beneath Chen Zidian was a red dragon over fifty meters long. Thick red fire-element light enveloped both Chen Zidian and the red dragon.

Chen Zidian was not only the captain of the Demon God's Fall Demon Hunt Squad, but also the most powerful of the twelve. Only he was qualified to speak with the Demon God Emperor.

Feng Xiu stood with his hands behind his back, gazing coldly at Chen Zidian and the others as an invisible pressure silently radiated from his body.

All twelve men let out muffled groans. Apart from Chen Zidian, the rest were forced back three steps by Feng Xiu's abyssal presence. Only Chen Zidian remained unmoving.
